I am trying to create a table based on some input parameters "header,
body" the header receives a string "header1, header" with its values
separated by, and the body receives an array containing arrays with
strings separated by, I try to paint the body values but the values
are displayed horizontally.
This post applies to an environment where you cannot manipulate the dom "Oracle Integration Cloud"
function convertStringToHtml(headers, body) {
var headersArr = headers.split(",");
var table = "<table>";
var tableHeader = "<thead><tr>";
var tableBody = "<tbody>";
var bodyArr = [];
headersArr.forEach((headerTable) => {
tableHeader = tableHeader + "<th>" + headerTable + "</th>";
});
body.forEach((bodyTable) => {
bodyTable.forEach((List) => {
bodyArr.push(List.split(","));
});
});
var longest = bodyArr.reduce(
(headers, body) => (headers.length > body.length ? headers : body), []
);
bodyArr.forEach((bodyList, listKey) => {
tableBody = tableBody + "<tr>";
bodyList.forEach((list, key) => {
console.log(list);
if (list.length !== longest.length - 1) {
console.log(" list: ", list, " key :", key, " listKey:", listKey);
tableBody = tableBody + "<td>" + bodyArr[listKey][key] + "</td>";
}
});
tableBody = tableBody + "</tr>";
});
table =
"<table>" +
tableHeader +
"</tr></thead>" +
tableBody +
"</tbody>" +
"</table>";
return table;
}
var headerList = "Header 1,Header 2,Header 3";
var dataList = [
["TEST1,TEST1,TEST1"],
["TEST2,TEST2,TEST2"],
["TEST3,TEST3,TEST3"],
];
console.log(convertStringToHtml(headerList, dataList));

As #Taplar said you should include a minimal reproducible example and follow the website's best practices.
That said, and generally speaking, once you have a string that contains some HTML you can insert in your page and to do that you need an DOM node.
<div id="root"></div>
Once you have created your container or you have identified the one you want to put your element into, you can do so by selecting it and working with its innerHTML attribute.
let rootElement = document.querySelector('#root')
document.innerHTML = "<table><thead><tr><th>Header 1</th><th>Header 2</th><th>Header 3</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>TEST1</td><td>TEST1</td><td>TEST1</td></tr><tr><td>TEST2</td><td>TEST2</td><td>TEST2</td></tr><tr><td>TEST3</td><td>TEST3</td><td>TEST3</td></tr></tbody></table>"
You can find more info on this attribute here.
var headerList = "Header 1,Header 2,Header 3";
var dataList = [
["TEST11,TEST12,TEST13"],
["TEST21,TEST22,TEST23"],
["TEST31,TEST32,TEST33"],
];
var tableHTML=
"<table border=1>\n"+
" <thead>\n"+
" <tr>\n"+
headerList.split(",").map(header=>" <th>"+header+"</th>\n").join("")+
" </tr>\n"+
" </thead>\n"+
" <tbody>\n"+
dataList.map(row=>" <tr>\n"+
row[0].split(",").map(cell=>" <td>"+cell+"</td>\n").join("")+
" </tr>\n").join("")+
" </tbody>\n"+
"</table>";
document.body.innerHTML+=tableHTML;
console.log(tableHTML);
headerList.split(",") returns an array of headers.
Then, we map each to be surrounded with th.
Then, we join them to be the content of the row.
dataList.map takes each sub array of the body - dataList.
row[0] takes the first (and only) item of those sub arrays.
We then split for each cell content and surround with td.
Then, we join them to be the content of a row.
It's done until all rows are created.
We surround the header row with thead, and
the body rows with tbody, and
the whole thing with table.
At the end, we add tableHTML to the document.body's innerHTML -
and we're done!
Added indentation and linebreaks.
Solution:
function convertStringToHtml(headers, body) {
var headersArr = headers.split(",");
var table = "<table>";
var tableHeader = "<thead><tr>";
var tableBody = "<tbody>";
var bodyArr = [];
// Order Array Data
var orderArr = [];
var responseArr = [];
const lengthBodyElementArr = body[0][0].split(",").length;
// Create Header Table
headersArr.forEach((headerTable) => {
tableHeader = tableHeader + "<th>" + headerTable + "</th>";
});
// Order Array
for (var increment = 0; increment < lengthBodyElementArr; increment++) {
orderArr = [];
body.forEach((bodyElement) => {
bodyElement.forEach((internalBodyElement) => {
bodyArr = internalBodyElement.split(",");
bodyArr.forEach((element, key) => {
if (key == increment) {
orderArr.push(element);
}
});
});
});
responseArr.push(orderArr);
}
// Create Body Table
responseArr.forEach((bodyList) => {
tableBody = tableBody + "<tr>";
bodyList.forEach((element) => {
tableBody = tableBody + "<td>" + element + "</td>";
});
tableBody = tableBody + "</tr>";
});
table =
"<table>" +
tableHeader +
"</tr></thead>" +
tableBody +
"</tbody>" +
"</table>";
return table;
}
I'm trying to figure out how to use javascript to add rows to a table dynamically. I tested without the table and can get the data but am stumped on populating the table.
I have a function call on a button that is supposed to populate the table. below is my code so far:
<table id="tblData" class="pure-table">
<thead>
<tr>
<th>Staff</th>
<th>Orders</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<!--<tr class="pure-table-odd">
<td>Jim</td>
<td>2</td>
</tr>-->
</tbody>
</table>
function getData()
{
var soData = JSON.parse(staffOrders);
var i = 0;
var c = getRowCount();
//build table
var table = document.getElementById("tblData");
while (i <= c) {
//alert(soData[i].staffName + " had " + soData[i].orders + " orders.");
//"<td>" + soData[i].staffName + "</td>"
//"<td>" + soData[i].orders + "</td>"
i++;
}
}
You need to use the DOM API for the HTML table element. It's documented at
http://www.w3schools.com/jsref/dom_obj_table.asp
Here's an example taken from http://www.w3schools.com/jsref/met_table_insertrow.asp :
// Find a <table> element with id="myTable":
var table = document.getElementById("myTable");
// Create an empty <tr> element and add it to the 1st position of the table:
var row = table.insertRow(0);
// Insert new cells (<td> elements) at the 1st and 2nd position of the "new" <tr> element:
var cell1 = row.insertCell(0);
var cell2 = row.insertCell(1);
// Add some text to the new cells:
cell1.innerHTML = "NEW CELL1";
cell2.innerHTML = "NEW CELL2";
function getData() {
var responseData = [{
"staffName": "Wilkerson Bowman",
"orders": 26
}, {
"staffName": "Finley Nunez",
"orders": 26
}, {
"staffName": "Katie Estrada",
"orders": 7
}];
var thead = document.querySelector('#tblData thead');
responseData.forEach(function(data) {
var row = document.createElement('tr');
row.innerHTML = '<td>' + data.staffName + '</td><td>' + data.orders + '</td>';
thead.appendChild(row);
});
}
getData();
<table id="tblData" class="pure-table">
<thead>
<tr>
<th>Staff</th>
<th>Orders</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody></tbody>
</table>
try this code
window.onload = function(){
function getData() {
var soData = [{orders : 'order1', staffName : 'staffName1'}, {orders : 'order2', staffName : 'staffName2'}]
var i = 0;
var c = 2;
//build table
var table_body = document.getElementById("tblData").getElementsByTagName('tbody')[0];
while (i <= c) {
var tr = document.createElement('tr');
tr.className = "pure-table-odd"; // add class in tr
var td1 = document.createElement('td');
td1.innerHTML = soData[i].orders;
var td2 = document.createElement('td');
td2.innerHTML = soData[i].staffName;
tr.appendChild(td1);
tr.appendChild(td2);
table_body.appendChild(tr);
i++;
}
};
getData();
}
<table id="tblData" class="pure-table">
<thead>
<tr>
<th>Staff</th>
<th>Orders</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<!--<tr class="pure-table-odd">
<td>Jim</td>
<td>2</td>
</tr>-->
</tbody>
</table>
I am trying to display a "leaderboard" table based on JSON data.
I have read a lot about the JSON format and overcome some initial obstacles, but my Javascript knowledge is very limited and I need help!
Basically my JSON data comes through looking like this:
[{"User_Name":"John Doe","score":"10","team":"1"},{"User_Name":"Jane Smith","score":"15","team":"2"},{"User_Name":"Chuck Berry","score":"12","team":"2"}]
What I need is to be able to loop through this array, generating a table row or list item for each object. There will be an unknown amount of total objects in the array but each will have the same format- three values: Name, Score, Team.
So far I have used the following code, which confirms that I am successfully loading the objects in the console-
$.getJSON(url,
function(data){
console.log(data);
});
but I am not sure how to iterate over them, parsing them into the HTML table.
The next step is sorting the entries by score in descending order...
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks!
EDIT:
Updated code below, this works:
$.getJSON(url,
function (data) {
var tr;
for (var i = 0; i < data.length; i++) {
tr = $('<tr/>');
tr.append("<td>" + data[i].User_Name + "</td>");
tr.append("<td>" + data[i].score + "</td>");
tr.append("<td>" + data[i].team + "</td>");
$('table').append(tr);
}
});
(The $.parseJSON was not necessary, we can use 'data' as the JSON array is already parsed I believe)
Loop over each object, appending a table row with the relevant data each iteration.
$(document).ready(function () {
$.getJSON(url,
function (json) {
var tr;
for (var i = 0; i < json.length; i++) {
tr = $('<tr/>');
tr.append("<td>" + json[i].User_Name + "</td>");
tr.append("<td>" + json[i].score + "</td>");
tr.append("<td>" + json[i].team + "</td>");
$('table').append(tr);
}
});
});
JSFiddle
You can use simple jQuery jPut plugin
http://plugins.jquery.com/jput/
<script>
$(document).ready(function(){
var json = [{"name": "name1","score":"30"},{"name": "name2","score":"50"}];
//while running this code the template will be appended in your div with json data
$("#tbody").jPut({
jsonData:json,
//ajax_url:"youfile.json", if you want to call from a json file
name:"tbody_template",
});
});
</script>
<div jput="tbody_template">
<tr>
<td>{{name}}</td>
<td>{{score}}</td>
</tr>
</div>
<table>
<tbody id="tbody">
</tbody>
</table>
Loop over each object, push in string array and join them. Append in target table, it is better.
$(document).ready(function () {
$.getJSON(url,
function (json) {
var tr=[];
for (var i = 0; i < json.length; i++) {
tr.push('<tr>');
tr.push("<td>" + json[i].User_Name + "</td>");
tr.push("<td>" + json[i].score + "</td>");
tr.push("<td>" + json[i].team + "</td>");
tr.push('</tr>');
}
$('table').append($(tr.join('')));
});
You can use KnockoutJS with jQuery. KnockoutJS have smart data-binding features. By using the foreach binding feature you can write your code like this example:
HTML:
<table>
<thead>
<tr>
<th>User Name</th>
<th>Score</th>
<th>Team</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody data-bind="foreach: teams">
<tr>
<td data-bind="text: User_Name"></td>
<td data-bind="text: score "></td>
<td data-bind="text: team "></td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
JavaScript:
$(document).ready(function () {
$.getJSON(url,function (json) {
ko.applyBindings({
teams: json
});
}
});
});
Fiddle Demo with your dummy data
Make a HTML Table from a JSON array of Objects by extending $ as shown below
$.makeTable = function (mydata) {
var table = $('<table border=1>');
var tblHeader = "<tr>";
for (var k in mydata[0]) tblHeader += "<th>" + k + "</th>";
tblHeader += "</tr>";
$(tblHeader).appendTo(table);
$.each(mydata, function (index, value) {
var TableRow = "<tr>";
$.each(value, function (key, val) {
TableRow += "<td>" + val + "</td>";
});
TableRow += "</tr>";
$(table).append(TableRow);
});
return ($(table));
};
and use as follows:
var mydata = eval(jdata);
var table = $.makeTable(mydata);
$(table).appendTo("#TableCont");
where TableCont is some div
This one is ugly, but just want to throw there some other options to the mix. This one has no loops. I use it for debugging purposes
var myObject = {a:1,b:2,c:3,d:{a:1,b:2,c:3,e:{a:1}}}
var myStrObj = JSON.stringify(myObject)
var myHtmlTableObj = myStrObj.replace(/{/g,"<table><tr><td>").replace(/:/g,"</td><td>","g").replace(/,/g,"</td></tr><tr><td>","g").replace(/}/g,"</table>")
$('#myDiv').html(myHtmlTableObj)
Example:
var myObject = {a:1,b:2,c:3,d:{a:1,b:2,c:3,e:{a:1}}}
var myStrObj = JSON.stringify(myObject)
var myHtmlTableObj = myStrObj.replace(/\"/g,"").replace(/{/g,"<table><tr><td>").replace(/:/g,"</td><td>","g").replace(/,/g,"</td></tr><tr><td>","g").replace(/}/g,"</table>")
$('#myDiv').html(myHtmlTableObj)
#myDiv table td{background:whitesmoke;border:1px solid lightgray}
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.9.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div id='myDiv'>table goes here</div>
another nice recursive way to generate HTML from a nested JSON object (currently not supporting arrays):
// generate HTML code for an object
var make_table = function(json, css_class='tbl_calss', tabs=1){
// helper to tabulate the HTML tags. will return '\t\t\t' for num_of_tabs=3
var tab = function(num_of_tabs){
var s = '';
for (var i=0; i<num_of_tabs; i++){
s += '\t';
}
//console.log('tabbing done. tabs=' + tabs)
return s;
}
// recursive function that returns a fixed block of <td>......</td>.
var generate_td = function(json){
if (!(typeof(json) == 'object')){
// for primitive data - direct wrap in <td>...</td>
return tab(tabs) + '<td>'+json+'</td>\n';
}else{
// recursive call for objects to open a new sub-table inside the <td>...</td>
// (object[key] may be also an object)
var s = tab(++tabs)+'<td>\n';
s += tab(++tabs)+'<table class="'+css_class+'">\n';
for (var k in json){
s += tab(++tabs)+'<tr>\n';
s += tab(++tabs)+'<td>' + k + '</td>\n';
s += generate_td(json[k]);
s += tab(--tabs)+'</tr>' + tab(--tabs) + '\n';
}
// close the <td>...</td> external block
s += tab(tabs--)+'</table>\n';
s += tab(tabs--)+'</td>\n';
return s;
}
}
// construct the complete HTML code
var html_code = '' ;
html_code += tab(++tabs)+'<table class="'+css_class+'">\n';
html_code += tab(++tabs)+'<tr>\n';
html_code += generate_td(json);
html_code += tab(tabs--)+'</tr>\n';
html_code += tab(tabs--)+'</table>\n';
return html_code;
}
Here are two ways to do the same thing, with or without jQuery:
// jquery way
$(document).ready(function () {
var json = [{"User_Name":"John Doe","score":"10","team":"1"},{"User_Name":"Jane Smith","score":"15","team":"2"},{"User_Name":"Chuck Berry","score":"12","team":"2"}];
var tr;
for (var i = 0; i < json.length; i++) {
tr = $('<tr/>');
tr.append("<td>" + json[i].User_Name + "</td>");
tr.append("<td>" + json[i].score + "</td>");
tr.append("<td>" + json[i].team + "</td>");
$('table').first().append(tr);
}
});
// without jquery
function ready(){
var json = [{"User_Name":"John Doe","score":"10","team":"1"},{"User_Name":"Jane Smith","score":"15","team":"2"},{"User_Name":"Chuck Berry","score":"12","team":"2"}];
const table = document.getElementsByTagName('table')[1];
json.forEach((obj) => {
const row = table.insertRow(-1)
row.innerHTML = `
<td>${obj.User_Name}</td>
<td>${obj.score}</td>
<td>${obj.team}</td>
`;
});
};
if (document.attachEvent ? document.readyState === "complete" : document.readyState !== "loading"){
ready();
} else {
document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', ready);
}
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<table>
<tr>
<th>User_Name</th>
<th>score</th>
<th>team</th>
</tr>
</table>'
<table>
<tr>
<th>User_Name</th>
<th>score</th>
<th>team</th>
</tr>
</table>
I spent a lot of time developing various reports. So, now I have an idea - create a web framework for building web reports. I have started here:
https://github.com/ColdSIce/ReportUI
Now it is an angular 4 module. You can pass your json data to TableLayoutComponent and get a HTML table as result. Table already has fixed header. Also you can fix some your columns by default or by click. More there, you can customize table properties like background-color, font-color, row-height etc.
If you are interested you can join me in this project and help.
Here is an another way to parse json object into Html table
//EXTRACT VALUE FOR HTML HEADER.
// ('Book ID', 'Book Name', 'Category' and 'Price')
var col = [];
for (var i = 0; i < d.length; i++) {
for (var key in d[i]) {
if (col.indexOf(key) === -1) {
col.push(key);
}
}
}
// CREATE DYNAMIC TABLE.
var table = document.createElement("table");
// CREATE HTML TABLE HEADER ROW USING THE EXTRACTED HEADERS ABOVE.
var tr = table.insertRow(-1); // TABLE ROW.
for (var i = 0; i < col.length; i++) {
var th = document.createElement("th");// TABLE HEADER.
th.innerHTML = col[i];
tr.appendChild(th);
}
// ADD JSON DATA TO THE TABLE AS ROWS.
for (var i = 0; i < d.length; i++) {
tr = table.insertRow(-1);
for (var j = 0; j < col.length; j++) {
var tabCell = tr.insertCell(-1);
tabCell.innerHTML = d[i][col[j]];
}
}
// FINALLY ADD THE NEWLY CREATED TABLE WITH JSON DATA TO A CONTAINER.
var divContainer = document.getElementById("showData");
divContainer.innerHTML = "";
divContainer.appendChild(table);
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.10.2/jquery.min.js"></script>
This code will help a lot
function isObject(data){
var tb = document.createElement("table");
if(data !=null) {
var keyOfobj = Object.keys(data);
var ValOfObj = Object.values(data);
for (var i = 0; i < keyOfobj.length; i++) {
var tr = document.createElement('tr');
var td = document.createElement('td');
var key = document.createTextNode(keyOfobj[i]);
td.appendChild(key);
tr.appendChild(td);
tb.appendChild(tr);
if(typeof(ValOfObj[i]) == "object") {
if(ValOfObj[i] !=null) {
tr.setAttribute("style","font-weight: bold");
isObject(ValOfObj[i]);
} else {
var td = document.createElement('td');
var value = document.createTextNode(ValOfObj[i]);
td.appendChild(value);
tr.appendChild(td);
tb.appendChild(tr);
}
} else {
var td = document.createElement('td');
var value = document.createTextNode(ValOfObj[i]);
td.appendChild(value);
tr.appendChild(td);
tb.appendChild(tr);
}
}
}
}
For those interested in a general solution in plain Vanilla JS. It works independently of the number of columns you have in your json.
const myData = [{"User_Name":"John Doe","score":"10","team":"1"},{"User_Name":"Jane Smith","score":"15","team":"2"},{"User_Name":"Chuck Berry","score":"12","team":"2"}]
const createTable = (json) => {
let table = document.getElementById('js-table')
for (let row of json) {
let newRow = table.insertRow();
for (let cell of Object.values(row)) {
let newCell = newRow.insertCell();
let newText = document.createTextNode(cell);
newCell.appendChild(newText);
}
}
}
createTable(myData)
<table>
<tbody id="js-table">
</tbody>
</table>
This post is very much helpful to all of you
First Parse the json data by using jquery eval parser and then iterarate through jquery each function below is the code sniplet:
var obj = eval("(" + data.d + ")");
alert(obj);
$.each(obj, function (index,Object) {
var Id = Object.Id;
var AptYear = Object.AptYear;
$("#ddlyear").append('<option value=' + Id + '>' + AptYear + '</option>').toString();
});
How do I add <thead> and <tbody> this using jQuery?
the problem is my table has 1 or 2 th rows?
$('#myTable tr:has(th)').wrap('<thead></thead>');
<table id="myTable">
<tr><th>1</th><th>2</th><th>3</th><th>4</th></tr>
<tr><th>1</th><th>2</th><th>3</th><th>4</th></tr>
<tr><td>1</td><td>2</td><td>3</td><td>4</td></tr>
<tr><td>1</td><td>2</td><td>3</td><td>4</td></tr>
<tr><td>1</td><td>2</td><td>3</td><td>4</td></tr>
<tr><td>1</td><td>2</td><td>3</td><td>4</td></tr>
<tr><td>1</td><td>2</td><td>3</td><td>4</td></tr>
</table>
What you need to do is remove the rows and append them to a thead element
var myTable = jQuery("#myTable");
var thead = myTable.find("thead");
var thRows = myTable.find("tr:has(th)");
if (thead.length===0){ //if there is no thead element, add one.
thead = jQuery("<thead></thead>").appendTo(myTable);
}
var copy = thRows.clone(true).appendTo("thead");
thRows.remove();
jsFiddle exmaple
use wrapAll instead of wrap
$('#myTable tr:has(th)').wrapAll('<thead></thead>');
$("#myTable thead").prependTo("#myTable")
function createTable(data) {
var str = "";
str += '<table><thead>';
str += '<tr><td>Pos</td><td>Ref</td></tr></thead><tbody>';
for (var item in data.recentList) {
str += '<tr>';
for (idata in data.recentList[item]) {
str += '<td>' + data.recentList[item][idata] + '</td>';
}
str += '</tr>';
}
str += '</tbody></table>';
$('body').append(str);
}
Working version that creates a table from an array
